Sound Devices MixPre-6 (Audio Interface, Recorder and Mixer)

This is an amazing unit for the price (~$900).

They also offer a slightly smaller less expensive unit (MixPre-3) and and larger more expensive unit (MixPre-10T).

I use a MixPre-6 as my everyday audio interface. It has 4 XLR inputs with exceptional quality mic pre’s and 2 other inputs via a stereo mini port.

And you can record on the unit itself IN ADDITION to recording in your computer software. Yes, it’s always good to record backups 😉

It’s a small unit which makes it very handy to take on location. In fact Sound Devices specializes in on-location recording equipment.
